Our commitment to enhancing the digital landscape for Sri Lankan enterprises has proven to be indispensable across businesses of all sizes in the country . The demand for our solution verticals , including cloud , IoT , and intelligent networking , has been substantial . However , it ’ s worth noting that connectivity , which remains a major driver of digitalisation , continues to play a vital role in this transformative journey .
We are witnessing significant growth in the security solutions vertical , particularly with our Video Surveillance as a Service platform , which is set to incorporate 5,000 cameras across large enterprise sectors such as banking , finance , apparel and entertainment by December 2023 . Additionally , our SD-WAN technology has already connected over 1,500 branches in finance , banking , manufacturing and retail sectors , among others .
Our foray into the cloud industry through collaboration with major global hyperscale partners has been a resounding success . Rather than focusing on a single partner we have adopted a multi-cloud approach with established partnerships with all the hyper-scalers and complimentary connectivity solutions .
Furthermore , Dialog Enterprise Cloud achieved the distinction of becoming the VMware Sovereign Cloud Provider in the South Asian Region , reinforcing our commitment to industries handling sensitive data at scale . Highly regulated industries like healthcare , banking and finance have critical requirements around data sovereignty . Our sovereign cloud
and hyperscale partnerships have helped us to establish long-term partnerships with the majority of banking and finance companies in the country , with cloud services becoming a pivotal driver for their digitalisation .
The IoT pillar has experienced unprecedented growth , driven by energy and economic crises , which have compelled industries to meter their utilities more efficiently and promote responsible resource usage in alignment with global sustainability standards . Our ability to anticipate client needs and provide solutions ahead of crises has fueled our innovation in this space .
All in all , Sri Lankan enterprises have embraced us not just as an ISP but an ICT Solutions provider , drawing on our extensive experience as a telco in our own digitalisation journey . They value our learning and consider us an integral part of their digital transformation efforts . We are dedicated to continuing our support and innovation as trusted partners in their digitalisation journey .
